| Names of 3,892 national service evaders given to cops Posted: 09 Sep 2012 04:41 AM PDT KOTA BARU: The National Service Training Department (JLKN) has submitted to the police the names of 3,892 errant candidates who had evaded national service (NS) training from 2010. JLKN director-general Datuk Abdul Hadi Awang Kechil said the names were submitted to the police to enable further investigation before any action was taken against the candidates. "We don't have any choice but to submit the names to the police," he told reporters after launching the movement of NS trainees of Group 3 Series 9/2012 at Mara Poly-Tech here Sunday. Abdul Hadi said the police would conduct thorough investigation on the candidates before referring their cases to the Attorney-General's Chambers for further action. "Those who are found guilty will be subjected to not more than 240 hours community service," he said, adding that even though the errant candidates had completed the community service, they would not be exempted from undergoing the NS training. - Bernama |

Mohamad Sabu said that police had initially asked him to give a statement on Sept 5 but he rescheduled the meeting today as he was attending several functions here. "I was questioned regarding the opposition leaders who attended the gathering, who organised the gathering and how many people attended it," he told reporters adding that he did not answer any question. National laureatte Datuk A. Samad Said and Janji Bersi co-organiser Maria Chin Abdullah were previously called in to have their statements taken Sept 6.

| Anwar’s bodyguard released after cops record statement Posted: 09 Sep 2012 04:20 AM PDT MALACCA: The Malacca police have released a bodyguard of Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim after recording his statement for allegedly drawing a pistol and pointing it at the public at a function organised by Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) in Kampung Baru Rim, Jasin, near here on Saturday. Malacca Crime Investigation Department head, ACP Raja Shahrom Raja Abdullah, said Sunday the 37-year-old was released at 9pm Saturday at the Jasin police headquarters. He said the man was detained following five police reports lodged over the incident, which happened between 3.30pm and 4pm. The man was investigated under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation and was released on police bail after police recorded his statement, he told a media conference at the Malacca police contingent headquarters here Sunday. Raja Shahrom said preliminary police investigations found that the man had a licence to carry the firearm and based on his statement, he was just doing his job as a personal bodyguard. However, police would conduct further investigation and would look at the video-recording and pictures taken by members of the public at the scene, he added. In the 3.15pm incident Saturday, the body guard, who was travelling in a Toyota Camry, got out of the car and drew out his pistol and pointed it at a group of men who were trying to prevent a bus, which Anwar was in, from going to the PKR function. The action of the bodyguard was witnessed by those at the scene who proceeded to disarm him. Raja Shahrom said police would also investigate an allegation that the bus was splashed with red paint at the scene. - Bernama |
